Getting arrested isn’t something that a person would want to experience in their lifetime, but it does happen — and it can happen to you or to someone you know.

In the state of California, an individual arrested for a crime will be taken to a local county jail station for booking.

Afterwards, the said individual (the defendant) is faced with various options in terms of their release, pending the conclusion of their particular case.

One of the best options you could consider is a bail bond. We at Eight Ball Bail Bonds offer the best, easiest bail bonds in Santa Cruz, CA, and we draw from 50 years of experience to guide you through every step of the process — for your peace of mind.

What is a bail bond?

Also known as a surety bail bond, it is a written promise signed by the criminal defendant (our client) and a bail bond agent or bondsman (us). This document ensures that the defendant will appear in court at the court’s scheduled time and date. The court will also set the bail amount.

Our team at Eight Ball Bail Bonds will take care of paying the bail amount so the defendant can be released while awaiting trial on criminal charges. The contract guarantees to the court that we will pay the bond forfeiture if the defendant fails to make the required court appearances.

For this service, the defendant is charged a percentage (typically 10%) of the bail amount and may be required to provide collateral (items of value such as properties, cars, credit cards, jewelry, boats, electronic equipment, and the like).

Surety bail bonds are convenient and reliable alternatives to cash bail bonds (wherein the defendant must provide the jail or court with the full amount of the bail bond in cash).

How does bail work?

Bail is designed to guarantee the appearance of a defendant in court at the time directed by the judge. When an individual is arrested for a crime, typically that person will be taken to a local law enforcement station for booking, prior to incarceration in a station lock-up or county jail. Once arrested and booked, the defendant has several options for release pending the conclusion of his or her case.
